2 tablespoons lime juice

BAJA FRIED FISH TACOS RECIPE: DELICIOUS STREET TACOS



Baja Fried Fish Tacos Recipe: Delicious Street Tacos image

Provided by Claudia Gomez

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb fresh cod filets
8 corn flour tortillas
Cooking oil
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 large egg
1 c. Mexican beer
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. Mexican crema
2 fresh limes, juiced
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp raw honey
2 c. green cabbage, finely shredded
2 fresh limes, cut into wedges
Fresh cilantro
Pico de gallo
Salsa verde

Steps:

  • Heat a few inches of your cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat or in a deep fryer.
  • Season all sides of your fresh cod fillets with salt, then slice into 8 even pieces.
  • Shred your cabbage with a sharp chef's knife or a mandolin slicer.
  • Place all of your batter ingredients in a shallow mixing bowl - all-purpose flour, sea salt, cayenne, egg, and Mexican beer. Whisk together the mixture until you create a smooth batter. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Baja fish taco sauce recipe - mayonnaise, crema, lime, cilantro, and honey.
  • Once well mixed, toss in the sliced cabbage mix until well-coated. Set aside.
  • Grab some heat-safe tongs or use your fingers to dip each piece of cod into the batter bowl. Hold the cod above the bowl for a few seconds to allow the excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the preheated oil.
  • Fry the cod in the oil until both sides brown; you'll likely need to gently flip the fish over halfway as it often floats at the top.
  • Remove the fish with a stainless steel mesh scoop, then transfer to a large dinner plate lined with a few paper towels. Lightly salt.
  • Continue the deep-frying process until you've cooked all your cod.
  • Use a tortilla warmer to heat your tortillas, then top them with a piece of cooked fish.
  • Top with your cabbage slaw in Baja sauce
  • Add your final fish taco toppings - a squeeze of fresh lime, cilantro, salsa verde, or pico de gallo.
  • Immediately serve and enjoy your fried fish tacos with slaw!

BAJA STYLE FISH TACOS



Baja Style Fish Tacos image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup dark Mexican beer*
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup Mexican crema** or sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
2 pounds skinned halibut cut into 5 by 1/2-inch strips
Freshly ground black pepper
Corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups tomatillo salsa (store-bought or homemade) for garnish, optional
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the Beer Batter:
  • Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add in the beer while whisking. Set aside and let the batter rest for 15 minutes before using.
  • For Cream Sauce:
  • Add the mayonnaise and crema to a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon zest, lemon juice and water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper (can be made 3 days ahead, covered and refrigerated).
  • For the Fish:
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of 1-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when inserted into the oil.
  • On a large plate, combine the flour and salt. Season the fish pieces all over with salt and pepper and coat with the flour. Working in batches, dip the fillets in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Make tacos with the tortillas and fish and top each with cream, shredded cabbage, tomatillo salsa and pickled jalapenos, if desired.
  • *Cook's Note: Crack open a cold Mexican cerveza like a Negra Modelo or a 2 Equis (XX) Amber to make this tasty beer batter, which will change the way you think about fried fish! You can use it for vegetables, too.
  • **Cook's Note: Mexican Crema is Mexico's version of creme fraiche and is found at many supermarkets and can easily be substituted with sour cream.

PERFECT FISH TACOS



Perfect Fish Tacos image

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds skinless red snapper or other mild white fish fillets
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white rice flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups club soda
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 8 cups)
16-32 small corn tortillas
Cabbage and Jicama Slaw
Fresno Chile Hot Sauce , for serving;
Sliced avocado, cilantro leaves with tender stems, Sliced pickled jalapeños, and lime wedges for serving
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Remove any pin bones from fish fillets (using tweezers makes this easy). Cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Cut each half on a diagonal into 1" strips. (Work with the natural shape of the fish as you cut; this will help the pieces stay together instead of falling apart when frying.)
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in club soda until no lumps remain; adjust with more club soda or rice flour as needed to make it the consistency of thin pancake batter-it should be pourable, but thick enough to coat the fish.
  • Fit a large pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to measure 2". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 350°.
  • Working in batches of 5-7 pieces at a time, coat fish in batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place in oil (to avoid splattering, lower fish into oil pointing away from you). Don't overcrowd the pot: The oil temperature will drop dramatically and fish may stick together.
  • Fry fish, turning occasionally with a fish spatula or slotted spoon and maintaining oil temperature at 350°, until crust is puffed, crisp, and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season immediately with salt.
  • While fish is frying, use tongs to heat tortillas one at a time directly over a gas burner, moving them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side.
  • Transfer to a plate; cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap up a stack of tortillas in a sheet of foil and heat in a 350° oven until warmed through.)
  • Top tortillas (we like two per taco) with fish, slaw, hot sauce, avocado, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish. Haddock is a mild, flaky fish that works well for tacos. Other good options include cod, tilapia, or flounder.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has soft, mushy flesh.
  • Cut the fish into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the fish with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Coat the fish in a light batter. This will help the fish stay moist and tender while it cooks.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, Pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Batter-fried haddock fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a casual get-together or a quick weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this tasty dish in no time.
